Topographical surveys
A topographical survey is a detailed survey of a piece of land that maps both natural and man-made features, including elevations, contours, buildings, roads, vegetation, and utilities. It provides a comprehensive representation of the land's terrain and key elements, such as slopes, boundaries, and infrastructure. This type of survey is essential for land development, construction planning, flood risk assessment, and environmental studies. It helps architects, engineers, and developers make informed decisions, ensuring projects are designed to work with the land’s natural features and meet legal or planning requirements.
Site Engineering & Setting Out
Site engineering and setting out involve the precise measurement and placement of building elements on a construction site, ensuring that the project is accurately constructed according to the design plans. Site engineers use detailed drawings, plans, and coordinates to mark out the locations of foundations, structures, roads, and utilities, ensuring everything aligns with the architectural and engineering specifications. This process involves careful calculation and the use of tools like total stations and GPS systems to transfer design information from paper to the site, providing the foundation for the successful construction and accurate execution of the project.
Measured Building Surveys
A measured building survey is a detailed survey that accurately captures the dimensions and layout of an existing building. It includes precise measurements of floor plans, elevations, sections, roof plans, and key structural elements, along with any significant architectural details. This survey is essential for renovation, refurbishment, and restoration projects, providing architects and designers with the accurate data needed for planning modifications. It also helps ensure compliance with building regulations and supports legal or planning applications, making it a vital tool for any project involving an existing structure.
GPS surveys
A GPS land survey uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to accurately measure and map land features, boundaries, and elevations. By using a network of satellites, GPS can obtain precise geospatial data, making it ideal for large or remote areas where traditional surveying methods may be less efficient. This modern technique allows for fast, accurate positioning and can be used for boundary surveys, topographic surveys, construction layout, and other land-related projects, providing high-precision results with minimal on-site time.
Verified Views
Verified views refer to accurately measured and authenticated visual representations of a proposed development or project, typically in relation to its surroundings. These views are created by taking precise survey data (such as topography and building positions) and generating realistic visualizations, often using 3D modeling or photomontages. Verified views are used to assess the impact of developments on the environment, ensuring that the visual representation aligns with real-world conditions. They are commonly required for planning applications and environmental assessments to show how a project will appear from various viewpoints.
Control Networks
A control network in land surveying is a system of reference points or benchmarks established across a survey area to provide consistent, accurate spatial data for all subsequent measurements. These control points, which are precisely located using GPS or traditional methods, serve as the foundation for other surveys, ensuring that all data is aligned and consistent across large areas. Control networks are crucial for projects like mapping, construction, and geospatial analysis, as they ensure the accuracy and reliability of survey results over time and across different locations.
